The backstory
Restb.ai sells computer vision that classifies property photos, detects features and generates listing descriptions from images. Multimodal models like Gemini now describe and tag images accurately from a single prompt, matching the core API at near-zero marginal cost. The specialized-vision advantage narrows sharply when general models see and caption as well. With its API job replicable by a foundation model, it is killed.
